03:49:23  IKE speech to conference: ...I have a feeling that there is no subject in the world so fascinating to talk about as America...There has been a spiritual unity existing even long before the signing of the Declaration of Independence borne of the belief that Man is a dignified human being...the possessor of certain inalienable rights...the one that seems to have come under attack in our day and time more than anything else is the right of property, and many people have tried to make us believe that there is an essential antagonism between so called property rights and human rights. It is a fallacy which underlies the conflict now going on in the world between stateism and these freedoms...I believe that no matter how effective is the work of the educational institution it must be supported further and amplified by every group in the United States that believes as I have been trying so haltingly to say that in the education and understanding of our people today lies the certainty of our own future...I can think of no one with more influence than the advertisers...you have a ceaseless and daily impact on us all...every time youre selling one of those things, to my mind youre selling part of America, but along with it...you must sell an understanding of what made those things...can be brought about by one means and that is telling the truth...we are convinced that anyone that has known our way of life...will choose our own. Therefore, why lie about it? Why claim that it has never had any defects?...It was not a personal sacrifice to come here today... - IKE makes self-deprecating remark to finish speech - standing ovation.  Anti-Communism.
